And just like that… another Vacation Care done!

A HUGE thank you to our amazing educators for making these holidays so special for all the CYP who attended! Your hard work, energy and dedication never go unnoticed.

A special shoutout to our wonderful Co-Director, April, for organising our incredible incursions and excursions!

Vacation Care wouldn’t be possible without this amazing team, so next time you see them, make sure you give them a big THANK YOU!

🌟PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT🌟

We recently had Dr Saurubh from We Belong Education in to deliver professional development to our MOOSH staff! The workshop was centred around Active Supervision and Communication.

We explored critical factors such as blind spots, communication, empowerment and children’s voice. Saurubh then stayed for MOOSH’s ASC session to provide on-floor support to our staff. This workshop allowed us to collaborate and reflect on our practice.

Thank you Dr Saurubh and thank you We Belong Education!!

🌟Philosophy: Partnerships and Professional
🌟Phoenix Cups: Mastery, Safety and Connection

Stories from the Field 💙

Dr. Saurubh arrived in Newcastle ready for an in-house workshop. Everything was planned, the educators were ready… and then we found out the OSHC room wasn’t available. 😂

For a moment, we all thought, well, what do we do now?

The leader of Maryland OOSH didn’t let the change of plans stop the day. She thought on the spot and came up with a solution: “Let’s do it at my house.”

And she really made it happen. She opened up her home, cleaned and prepared the space, made sure the educators had somewhere comfortable to sit and learn, and even organised food for everyone. Before we knew it, our unexpected workshop venue was ready. 🏠

It was one of those moments that reminded us that leadership can look like simply rolling with what’s in front of you. The original plan didn’t work out, but the purpose of the day stayed the same. We adapted, made it work, and got on with it.

Sometimes, the best stories from the field are the ones you never planned for. 💙

ILLNESS AT OOSH

In the lead up to Vacation Care, at Maryland OOSH we understand with a change in season comes illness for many CYP.

It is important that CYP who are unwell stay home to recover, and prevent the spread of illness to other children, families and Educators - No Educators = No OOSH!

If you are unsure if your child is well enough to attend, keep them home to rest until they feel well enough to return to play!

Please notify the Service as soon as possible if your child is confirmed to have an infectious illness.

Children who are deemed too unwell to participate by Educators, require 1:1 support due to illness or are placing the wellbeing of others at risk will be required to be collected from the Service.

If you have any questions, concerns or comments, please email [email protected]

💛 R U OK? ANY DAY 💛

At OOSH, we know that a simple “Are you OK?” can open the door to connection, support and a reminder that someone cares.

Sometimes, we see people smiling, laughing, helping others and getting on with their day. But we never truly know what someone might be carrying behind that smile.

This is just as important when it comes to our educators. 💛

Our educators spend their days caring for, supporting and encouraging others, so yesterday, we took the time to do the same for them.

We sat down, listened, shared ideas about what more we can do to support one another, and, of course, had plenty of laughs and fun along the way with some games.

Because checking in doesn’t always have to be a serious conversation. Sometimes, it’s simply creating a space where people feel comfortable to talk, laugh, be themselves and know they’re supported.

Most importantly, we reminded each other that it’s OK not to be OK. 💛

Let’s continue to check in, listen and look out for one another, not just today, but any day.
